This is one of the best fried chicken sandwich spots I've ever eaten at. I heard that Buxton Chicken Palace was a place to get the best fried chicken sandwiches in Asheville and as you southerners would say: Y'ALL weren't messin' around. It was legit. LE-GIT. The first time we came here, we just had some chicken tenders, which were fantastic. They were juicy, meaty and flavorful. I also tried their Cheerwine slushie, which was my first time trying Cheerwine pop, and it tasted like a mix of Big Red and Dr. Pepper. IYKYK! But I made a note to later on try the chicken sandwich, so visited on a different day to get their famous fried chicken sandwich with waffle fries for the flight home. Good thing I did, too, because my flight ended up being delayed and I didn't get home 'til a day later, BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. The fried chicken sandwich and waffle fries with their housemade BBQ sauce was awesome! The chicken was moist, tender and had a nice hint of spice to it. It came with pimento cheese, which was my first time having this cheese and it was creamy and good. I liked the BBQ sauce with, as it tasted like a creamy honey mustard versus a standard BBQ sauce. Waffle fries were well seasoned. I recommend trying Buxton Chicken Palace for their signature fried chicken sandwich in Asheville. Located in the S&W Market, it's a casual spot where you can get your fried chicken goodies and sit among history in the art deco building it's located in. What's not to love? I would happily visit again.
Buxton is a pretty solid chicken place! It definitely hits that chicken sandwich craving. I usually just get the Original but this time, the guy at the counter suggested the Club tossed in Nashville hot sauce and it was LEGIT. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a nice flavorful crust on the outside. The waffle fries are deliciously seasoned and perfectly crispy. I also enjoy their array of sauces for dipping/pouring. My issue lies within the pimento cheese. This visit, the pimento cheese wasn't creamy AT ALL. It looked like shredded cheese from the bag slapped on top of the sandwich. The combination of shredded cheese and sliced cold cheese that was not melted was a little off putting. I would have loved for the crispiness of the chicken sandwich to be balanced with a creamy or melty cheese to really take it to the next level.
No surprises here, just Buxton Hall slanging their delicious chicken sandwiches! You want find the full BBQ menu here, just the chicken sandwiches and some sides. This is a great option if you're not looking for BBQ. It's hard not to fall in love with the S&W market, the atmosphere is perfect for Asheville and you are able to get a sample of the food you will find around town. Not to mention some great beers from Highlands Brewing as well!
Pretty legit amount of chicken tenders for it to go Meal. Counter service and the person waiting on me was very nice and helpful. Pretty sure she gave me an extra sauce for free. They came out super super quick and fresh and hot. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nothing super mind blowing about them but a solid choice nonetheless. I like that this is in the S&W cafeteria and super accessible to downtown. Also feels like one of the more affordable places these days
I only wanted a snack, so I just got their seasoned waffle fries. I wasn't expecting much, because while waffle fries are great, they are fairly straight forward. Well I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor and the crunch on these fries were amazing. I will certainly be going back to try the chicken sandwich. They really looked amazing.
This food was great! Our favorite was the spicy chicken. The chickens were huge and provided enough to fill a stomach. It was about a 10-15 minute wait when it was busy. The restaurant was in a food court with a second floor, we didn't go to the second floor but there was good music going on in the back ground.
Really good fried buffalo chicken sandwich combo with fries + drink. Counter service was quick and friendly.
Being a 'chicken palace' there are almost no options for vegetarians however I have stopped by to grab a side of fries and a Cheerwine bourbon slushy and I am absolutely obsessed with both. My favorite dipping sauce is the white BBQ but I am big on sauce so I also enjoy dipping into ranch and honey mustard. Their sauces are great. You can also get a small side of pimento cheese. I would love to see them add a vegetarian chix option to their entrée offerings, however I do not foresee that happening. I will be back for more fries and boozey slushies.
This place is housed in a beautiful old building with fantastic architecture. Great vibe and lots of seating. The chicken here is amazing. Got the chicken tenders meal and honestly it's enough for two people or two meals. The chicken is so juicy and tender and the nuggets are huge! Great waffle fries and lots of drink options. The employees are very upbeat and super friendly. Great service.
This place has the nicest, quickest, and most friendly staff! They move quick, and the do it all with a smile! The chicken sandwich is better than one you'll find ANYWHERE else. The breading is crispy, the chicken is juicy, the pickles are perfect, the bread is soft & the sauces just top it off perfectly! The chicken 'nuggets' are big, juicy and so crispy! The sauces really knock it out of the park. LOVE being able to have cheerwine, and the fries were seasoned to perfection, hot, and crispy yet so good!
I don't eat a lot of chicken, but their fried chicken sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. I especially love their pimento cheese spread on it!
Located in the S & W Market - a beautiful historical art-deco architectural building conveyed to a food hall- this joint is a spin-off locale for the Buxton Hall fried chicken sandwich. I was very excited to try the chicken nuggets and they did not disappoint. Super light breading & you can just tell the chicken is high quality. I tried the ranch and honey mustard dipping sauces and both were on point. You also get seasoned waffle fries and a real fountain Coke! The fries were a little flabby for my liking and could have used a bit longer in the fryer but I did love the seasoning. Can't wait to try other spots in the food hall!
Fabulous chicken sandwich! I have been a fan since their old (now closed) restaurant. Love the juicy chicken and savory breading. I think it's one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The location in the S&W cafeteria is downtown and has a cafeteria style. read more

This place is in the cool S&W market in downtown Asheville. It's remodeled from an old subway entry. It's clean. The customer service is ok. We ordered the club fried chicken sandwich and the Buxton original with their seasoned fries. We received regular fries and not their waffle fries. Although we didn't get their waffle fries (they may have run out) the fries were perfectly seasoned and crisp. They were delish. The sandwiches were yummy as well. My husband who was born and raised in the south, is picky about his fried chicken. He enjoyed these sandwiches and even said he'd come back for some more. That's is saying a lot. The sandwich was crispy and great flavor. read more
I am thoroughly confused why this place has 3 stars. This was rated the top chicken sandwich in America and delivered. Gloriously juicy and I have no idea how they do it. The paprika-ish seasoning on the waffle fries were second to none as well. Pictured is my sandwich featuring just a drizzle of hot honey... read more

I don't rave about chicken sandwiches. This place made me rethink what poultry I have been eating all these years. Heaven on a bun. The chicken was tender juicy spiced perfectly and fried up perfectly. Had a special hotlanta sandwich with pickled jalapeños that almost made me cry tears of culinary joy. Located in a gorgeous food hall make sure to visit the best goddamn chicken place you'll ever have the pleasure of dining in. read more

Purchase a sandwich to go that was raw/inedible on 6/23 and made several attempts to contact the business by phone and their email link on the same day. No response from the business.7/7 returned to the business to speak to a manager for a refund and show her the emails and picture of the raw sandwich along with my credit card receipt. Her only comment was it is against policy to refund the money and ask for her supervisor would not give me the information for her supervisor. Terrible business, food and frontline supervisor. Never again read more
